Congratulations to International Programs and Services Advisor Philipp Reichert, who was just named this year's winner of the Canadian Bureau for International Education's (CBIE) North Star Award for Emerging Leader in International Education.

In early April, the Canadian Bureau for International Education announced the accreditation of their International Students and Immigration Education Program curriculum by the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council.

The new Intercultural Development Program brings together students from across campus through a blend of workshops and hands-on learning that imparts the perspective and skills needed to live and work within a diverse community like UBC Okanagan.

The Global Spectrum is a new, student-driven, student-edited and student-published blog that links UBC’s Okanagan campus and the world. It is looking for members of the campus community who would like to help shape this student-oriented project.

Campus Life, International Programs and Services, Aboriginal Programs and Services and the Advising and Involvement Centre would like to give a warm welcome to a number of orientation and summer transition program coordinators this summer.
